Ndengelwa Water Global Grant Request
Joan Tilton, Rotary Club of Arlington, was our guest speaker on Friday, March 10th requesting our Club's financial commitment for the Ndengelwa Water project in Kenya. The International Humanitarian Project is all about Clubs, Districts and the Rotary Foundation coming together to promote the common good and applying for a Global Grant. Funding for large projects can range from USD $15K to $200K.
